Sincerely, The Villainess (Dropped)

Chapter 9

"prince you must not!"

"no... I have to, if only I have done something back then... nothing of this cruelty would've happened"

"but prince..."

A man's voice... two of them. Who are they and where am I? I died didn't I, is this perhaps afterlife. These voices I hear, they have an awfully concerned voice. It reminds me of...

I was confused, who was I reminded of again? It was someone who made me comfortable. Someone...

I opened my eyes seeing a big window that reminded me of home, back in the Dukedom. The pinkish cabinet that I loved to design and a tray of sweets. I was like back in my childhood.

This was such a peaceful afterlife.

I had been comfortably pleased with the calm surroundings, but something was odd. I had small palms and everything around me had become bigger, no I have become smaller. I did not want to believe it, I sat down the big bed just to take steps forward the full body mirror. Silky sliver hair, plump tulip like lips, and pinkish ruby eyes.

"what?!!"

For awhile now I had been breathing, and my palms were warm. The outside was so prosperous... was I back when I was just a little child?! I heard knocks from the big wooden door beside me. Aine was all I thought.

"My lady it is time for study- "

"Aine!!"

I was really happy; I couldn't help but cry. My smile wasn't the least hidden, even though it was crooked I ran toward Aine while opening the door. I gave the biggest hug I could give; my cries were echoing into the hall's.

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Back then when I left Aine to depart to Etheledo Kingdom I had receive a letter stating that she died. I did not know the reason why and because of that I became much more depressed. Aine was an important maid to me, she helped me grow and gave me love I had been missing. Just with Aine I hadn't lacked.

Aine was confused while I hug her, I snuggle closer to her not wanting to let go. She had sighed and lifted me up- I was a little bit surprised but what could I do, I was back as a child. Aine was warm... breathing and healthy, I missed her. Please never... let go.

"my lady did you have a bad dream?"

"...yes... a very bad dream"

I was so skeptical about everything but I really was back as a child. I was 4 years-old- I did not know what to do since I was shocked about what happened. I made myself excuses for this and maybe it was just a long dream, but... I really felt real.

Being killed was.

I was scared to step outside my room, to think that I had to live again my painful life. But was it really just like that, was I really going to let fate decide my choices? - I then had the sudden thought that I could still avoid my death and everything else.

I had thought deeply about the situation and the very most thing I could do was secure a life. War was to blame, if only Belard Kingdom hadn't rage war then no one would've been affected.

With my little palms I twist the doorknob in my room and pushed the door forward, stepping outside the room. If I clearly remember when I was 4 years old, I'd only study diligently and had a normal everyday life. First of all, if I was not competent then I wouldn't have been sent off to Etheledo Kingdom, my father... no the Duke probably called me to the meeting to show the officials I was competent enough to be betrothed.

Like the future I lived, I'll make it official. I will be a villainess.

But first, I am so exhausted! did it even feel like this before... this house is so big that I am like walking in a labyrinth. My legs were throbbing as I bent down placing my hand on my knees.

"my lady? do you need help?"

Right on time! this maid's name is... well never mind the name. This maid with a bob cut looked down on me with genuine concern half naive eyes.

"lift me up, I can't walk with these small legs"

"huh?"

"just lift me up!"

"ye- yes!"

And thus, this horrendous acting starts.
